The Cleaver is In

In the Muir Corridor, we have now seen the first summits via the Disappointment Cleaver, with the route transitioning away from the Ingraham Direct due to opening crevasses. The route currently traverses from the top of the Cleaver over to Camp Comfort, and then ascends to the crater rim. In the warm, calm weather pattern, teams are finding good travel conditions and summit success.

On the Kautz, the route is progressing as-usual into a more technical ice climb. Our current Kautz team is heading to high camp today, and will go for the summit tomorrow.

On the Emmons Glacier lead guide Devin Bishop brought his team to the summit. Some interesting climbing guards the uppermost portion of the route, but as usual the Emmons has delivered a fantastic climb to the summit.
